What I Am Grateful For Today

Here are some of the things that I am grateful for today:

• While I haven't got my adsense payment yet, I'm grateful for the fact that I know that some people have posted that they have received their "Payment in process" line in their adsense accounts so I know that mine can't be too far behind and that I will have it soon!
  
  
• I'm grateful for the food that I had for dinner
  
  
• I'm grateful for my cellphone - just spent about 40 minutes talking to my brother
  
  
• I'm grateful for my computer and my internet access and being able to afford paying my internet access
  
  
• I'm grateful for my house
  
  
• and last but not least I'm grateful for my cat!

I'm Still Waiting For My Adsense Check......

This is one of those situations where I should note what I am grateful for. I'm grateful that I'm getting an Adsense check at all. So many people have said how they have added adsense to their sites and have made little to no money from it yet.

You have to earn at least $100 during the month before Adsense will send you a payment and fortunately I was able to earn this amount last month. So now that I'm supposed to get an adsense payment this month for last month's earnings, I'm anxiously awaiting the payment.

What Would I Do If (When) I Won The Lottery?

I do buy lottery tickets every now and then. Recently a group of women won a $200 Million Dollar + lottery and I am very happy for them. I know that that money will come in handy for them.

They all said that they would continue to work - at least for now.

What would I do if I won the lottery? Well the first thing that I would do is pay off my bills and I would pay the mortgage off on my house. I would also buy a good used car - I'm not too much a fan of new cars!

More importantly I would set some of the money aside and keep it in the bank to use in case of emergencies.

Also too, if the amount of lottery money that I won was substantial I think that I would start a foundation to help people who are having financial difficulties.

I would also donate a percentage to my favorite charity causes.

And while I know that wise financial planning has to play a good part in keeping my finances together I am also going to have some "mad" money! Just to go and buy something that will make me feel good!

Talents!

I just spent some time updating my website and it made me realize that I have a talent (I should say an additonal talent)

I also think about this when I'm watching television. I see a commercial with Rachel Ray in it and what comes to my mind is here is someone that loves to cook and she has managed to make a successful career out it. Cooking is one of her many talents.

My talent for being able to create and modify webpages is very useful for me. I haven't thought of becoming a webpage designer but I actually could because I do have experience with it.

You may not think that you have any talents but my guess is that you would probably be wrong.

No Mail For 2 Days!

One of the things that I most definitely have to work on is worry!

Even my astrological sign says that I do tend to worry alot!

I did not get any mail for 2 days! A lot of people would probably consider this a blessing because it would have meant no bills and no advertisements! But for me it made me worry. The thoughts that came in my mind was that 'well maybe the mail stopped delivering here' - now why would I think of something like that!

Instead of dwelling on the negative aspect of my worry - what I'm supposed to do in a situation like this is to turn this around.

Instead of worrying about not getting any mail I should be glad to know that my mail is in order and that I haven't done anything to cancel my mail. I just didn't get any mail for two days.

On day three - I got mail!

I'm Dealing With Negative Thoughts Today

Where I feel lack I should feel abundance!

Today has been a day of negative and angry thoughts. If anything this should show me what I do not want!

Here is my "Things That I Am Grateful For" list for today

• I am grateful that I have a computer and am able to be online
  

• I am grateful to have a blog that can be visited from people all over the world
  
  
• I am grateful for my adsense income.
  
  
• I am always grateful for my cat who is lounging by the window now
  
  
• I am grateful for my home
  
  
• I am grateful for my talents and passions
  
  
• What I am most grateful for right now is my sanity!

A "word" here about negative thoughts:

From what and all that I have learned the thing to do with negative thoughts is to turn them into positive thoughts. Although I am having some difficulty with this the mere fact that I'm posting about it now helps me to realize that!

So the negative thoughts that I am having I am going to turn them into positive thoughts - meaning if I am feeling a lack of something then I going to turn that around to having a feeling of the abundance of it!

It seems to be a very hard thing for me to do but I am going to work on it for the rest of the day!

What I Am Grateful For Today

I'm grateful for:

• the leftover "takeout" that I had for dinner tonight because it reminds me that I am capable of earning money online - this time with Adsense and it also reminds me of how good it feels to be able to afford ordering out every once in a while!
  
  
• I'm always grateful for my little cat - who is my furry companion and "fight" partner! She's eating dinner now!
  
  
• the jazz music that's playing in the background while I'm at the computer
  
  
• the money that I have that is going to allow me to buy more food and household essential items
  
  
• being inside a nice warm house while the winds and the rain are wrecking havoc outside
  
  
• my computer and being able to afford and have internet access. I'm also grateful for my all-in-one printer that allows me to make copies at midnight - a time of my choosing - so that I don't have to go "out" to make copies
  
  
• the talents that I do have! Just being able to have a blog - or should I say blogs - and continually being able to add more posts about my life so that other people can see that they are not alone with their problems. Hopefully this blog will help and inspire others too!

A Glorious Sunday Today!

Even though the temperature is in the low 40's

• The sun is shining brightly
  
  
• I'm listening to gospel music on my local radio station
  
  
• I heard someone outside riding on their skateboard even though the temperature is in the 40's

I'm Feeling Kind Of Down And Depressed Today....

Time to list what I am grateful for:

• I am grateful to have a nice and warm house to live in. Currently its 28 degrees outside and we have just had 3 inches of snow today!
  
  
• I am grateful for my new refridgerator that I was able to get with a grant
  
  
• I am grateful for my little furry companion who I playfully fight with every day!

I feel a lot better now!

MC Hammer

I just read a reading that someone did for MC Hammer. The reason why I mention this is because MC Hammer was very famous and very rich at one time and he lost it all!

But now slowly and surely he is steadily rising and growing and evolving again. He also has a blog online.

Like I said the reason why I mention him is because he is the perfect example of someone who was down at one time but he is now slowly starting to renew his life. He has a TV show and I'm sure that other good and wonderful things will be happening for him.

My Tarot Reading For Today

I was feeling kind of depressed today so I thought that I would do a tarot reading on myself and I drew the "Ace Of Wands".

Here is the interpretation for the "Ace of Wands"

using creative force
inventing a better way
expanding your potential
opening to greater possibilities
conceiving a dream
expressing yourself
stimulating your imagination
allowing a talent to unfold
coming up with a solution

showing enthusiasm
feeling fired up and eager
creating an aura of excitement
being ready to tackle the world
inspiring others
sustaining optimism
giving 110%

having confidence
believing in yourself
feeling assured of your abilities
being sure of success
having high self-esteem
having faith in your path
knowing things will work out

proceeding with courage
tackling a challenging task
going beyond your limits
being true to your beliefs
daring to take a stand
facing your fears
going for it

The Ace of Wands is a symbol of possibility in the area of creativity, excitement, adventure, courage and personal power. In readings, it shows that a seed of bold enthusiasm has been planted in your life although you may not yet recognize it. When the seed sprouts, it could take almost any form. It might be a creative idea, surge of optimism or need to act boldly. On the outside, it could be an offer, gift, opportunity, encounter or synchronistic event.

When you see this Ace, examine your life to see how its potent, confident energy could work for you. Be daring and brave. Sometimes you have to risk to get what you want. Look for the path that will excite you and push you beyond your limits. Seize the initiative, and let your enthusiasm take you to new heights. Wands are the suit of individual power and fulfillment. This Ace tells you that a time of passion is beginning. You will be able to assert your best for all to see.

The Ace of Wands is also the card of creativity. Under its influence, you can become a conduit for inspiration and invention. Forget tired, worn-out solutions. You have the chance to be original. Trust your own creative potential, and there will be no end to what you can achieve.

This is a very interesting tarot reading for me but it does sound just like how my life is going. I am taking a lesser known road in my life and it is scary BUT it is the path that I want to take. I just can't tell you how much I am risking here but I know that it is a risk that I absolutely MUST take!
